Poppy's pregnant with #1 has a spectacular aura about
What do you think of education in the US after reading some questions on YA?

I read questions and answers on YA a lot, as I am sure most of you do. I don't claim to be the best speller in the world. I don't even have the best grammar in the world, but I know basics. I see questions written all the time with words spelled very wrong.

For example: I am a top contributor in pregnancy and trying to conceive. I see this all the time:

pregnate = pregnant
thighroide = thyroid

I could go on with a list. But, when I see misspellings of basic words I wonder what is going on in US schools. It is somewhat frightening that this is what our schools are producing. What do you think?
